NEO
SPACE CLASSIC LEGO CUSTOM MODELFebruary
2019.Two
new Neo Classic Space models with a new and pretty "schway"
background. Better than Hollywood's blockbusters FX with this
gold foil paper from a chocolate's bar. Like what, gluttony it
pays. The rebuilt models are the 6909 "XT-5 and Droid", as well
as the shuttle of the set 493 "Space Command Center".

NEO
SPACE CLASSIC LEGO CUSTOM MODELFebruary
2019.As
promised, here is another picture of my custom Neo Classic Space
models. Initially I just wanted to rebuild the vintage Lego model
of the 6970 Beta 1 Command Base, a small command center with its
mini monorail leading to the launch pad of the small spaceship.
After putting it on a 48 x 48 baseplate, I thought it was a little
empty, so I added my version of the 493 Space Command Center and
the cabin from the set 497 Galaxy Explorer to complete the whole
thing. This playset is build with a mix of modern and vintage
Lego parts and stickers for the printed parts. The roof panels
of the Space Command Center are Trans-Clear, so I thought to apply
transparent yellow film or dye these pieces but finally I preferred
to retouch the image to color them.

CLASSIC
SCI-FI MOVIE LEGO CUSTOM MODELI
just updated the building
instructions of my custom Lego bricks model: "Forbidden
Robot". There were two small mistakes in the feet and head. Incidentally,
I took the opportunity to create new instructions to build a different
head, more accurate to the original. The file now contains two
pdf and two partslists, a 2016 version and a 2019 version. I would
like to thank Daniel M. who kindly offered to use his modified
version of the head as the basis for my new work. If you have
already purchased these instructions in the past, contact me and
I will send you, free of charge, the new link for you to have
this update.

NEO
SPACE CLASSIC LEGO CUSTOM MODELSWith
the release of the movie "The Lego movie 2", I could not resist
the box 70841 with its astronauts and accessories "vintage". It
made me want to redo the Space Classic and I started with these
small models inspired by the sets Lego 886 Space Buggy and 6802
Space Probe. Incidentally I took the opportunity to show my "Benny"
cards to me, from the 6929 set of 1981.
Pictures of the other models comingvery soon.

REFURBISHED DODGE CHARGER 1970 LEGO.I
really like the Lego "Speed Cahmpions" line and the new reference
75893 "Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and 1970 Dodge Charger R / T"
seduced me. The only problem is that I don't like the width of
cars that I find too narrow so I decided to rebuild them in 8
tenons wide instead of 6. Here is the first one, the Dodge Charger
1970. The model required an almost complete overhaul to adapt
it to a wider width but the challenge was interesting and the
final result but remains true to the original thanks to the specific
parts of this reference. So to those who will ask me the question:
"is it necessary to buy the 75893 to build a model of 8 pins wide"
I would answer yes ... unless you prefer to look for these parts
on Bricklink.
From this work, I created building instructions that you will
find in my shop by clicking on the image.

OSCAR'S
HEADQUARTERS, BOSS OF THE BIONICS.Here's a model I built in 2008 and that I just
modelised. It's Oscar Goldman's office, the leader of the Bionic
Heroes, Steve Austin and Jamie sommers, inspired by Kenner's O.S.I.
Headquarters playset from 1977. This playset is composed of two
walls and a floor in cardboard all printed and a desk. As much
redoing the desk in Lego bricks was quite simple as much giving
back their volumes to the various object and furniture figured
on the walls was significantly more fun. It was of course necessary
to give a third dimension to these objects but at the same time
to ensure that they were not too bulky and fill the room and I
think that I have done well. I created building instructions for
this model that you can find find by clicking on the image. Open
title music not included ;)

LEGO
MUSCLE CAR CHEVY CHEVELLE. Like
any good fan of action movies including car chases American cities
streets, I wanted to build me a Muscle Car. As I didn't want to
start with the too famous Ford Mustang or Dodge Charger, I chose
the Chevelle by Chevrolet, a model with nice curves but however
massive and powerful. But not being fond of Lego models in 4 or
6 tenons, I opted for a 8 tenons width, which allows to have four
places. This model took a lot of time and thought so that it was
neither too high nor too square and the different varieties of
"slope" pieces were really useful.

LEGO
CLASSIC PIRATES 6276 REDUXAll AFOL (or almost) are fans of old lines that
we call Classic today and especially since Lego deprived us for
a moment of the collections that we love so much. The theme of
the day is the Pirates, the latest model of the line dating from
2015, I suddenly had (as it gets to a lot of us) want to build
me again the El Dorado fortress. Having No longer the original
parts and wanting a modernized version, I used my current stock
and changed the color yellow for Tan and black for reddish brown.
Other adaptations, such as the replacement of corner pieces were
necessary to complete this model. The result is a model that combines
the charm of vintage and modern design. Click on the image to

MATCHBOX
ADVENTURE 2000 : K-2001 COMMAND RAIDER VEHICLE A custom model build by me with Lego bricks and based on
the Command Raider vehicle from Adventure 2000 Matchbox line (1977).
Here's a model that reflects the SF spirit of the 70s, a military-type
vehicle consisting of two separable modules with caterpillars
and a rocket launcher on the roof, and as much the rear part looks
very "tank" as the scout vehicle with its large glass surfaces
doesn't really inspire confidence in its strength. Now you're
going to tell me that this is ultra-super-armored glass made from
a material from the future, which will probably be true one day,
and in fact it already exists and I don't know why, but the military
still don't want big windows on their tanks, weird no ?! In short
here is a concept of a future that never happened and fortunately
also because this vehicle better known to Americans under the
name Land Raider, seen in the English comic Judge Dredd, immediately
think of the city of Mega City where the future is not really
rosy. It doesn't matter, despite the passage of time, the Raider
Command / Land Raider is still cool. This model was not really
difficult to transcribe in Lego bricks with its very square look,
despite all I had to change the green metallic color for tan,
for lack of reference of it. The other possibility would have
been to paint the model after or before editing but I don't like
to do that kind of things.

JOE
HQ COMMAND CENTERCustom
model inspired by the playset of the same name from Hasbro 1983.
When I discovered this toy, flipping through old catalogs, I immediately
found it great, even if I never had a GI Joe of this format, only
12 ". I could have browsed the online sales sites and bought one
but just like you I'm a fan of Lego so it was logical that I make
my own version with Lego bricks. It's been a real pleasure, because
even if building with so few colors can seem boring, in fact I
had fun as a kid. Luckily there were a lot of complicated parts
to reproduce, like the walls at the front with their odd angles
or the platform lift for vehicles on the right side, making the
creation of this model exciting. The central part remains my favorite
with its prison with comfortable beds and the computer / communication
center. Not to mention the storage part for weapons and accessories
reproduced faithfully. The model is still very playable even after
its transformation into Lego model. The buidling instructions
for this model can be found in my shop by clicking on the image.

GONK
POWER DROID LEGO CUSTOM MODELSome people will say it's the ugliest SW droid,
but I can't help but love it. Its square shape makes it look so
solid and reliable that it will always be operational, much like
old computers or game consoles. I previously built a minifig format
one but this one is much larger; 12" scale; and not blue?! It
was my first choice but the lack of blue/dark blue wedge plates
made me choose the gray color and grey is star Wars. Everyone
knows that if we open one of this robot, we will find an actor,
for my part I prefer to add an energy generator. Last thing many
of the various gonk photos you'll find really show an E on the
side, it has nothing to do with my first name ... but it suits
me. :)

Twin
Pod Cloud Car Lego custom model.You may have bought the set 75222 Betrayal at Cloud
City and like me you were a little disappointed by the Twin Pod
Cloud Car too small and too ... red. Everyone wonders why Lego
stubbornly tries to make this model red, not orange, as seen in
the movie Empire Against Attack. So I decided to build my own
model, more to the scale and especially orange. As long as I was
there, I made an exhibition stand so I could show it with my version
of Bespin. You too can build this model, the building instructions
are in my shop via the link on the page, just click on the image.

HAUNTED
HOUSE LEGO CUSTOM MODELThe Haunted House, classic theme par excellence
and yet offering possibilities, from the scariest to the most
cartoonesque. As this is a custom made model, the customer had
a very specific request and wanted me to take inspiration from
the model, H0 scale of the Alexander brand. This partly ruined
Victorian home is quite sinister although not displaying the usual
clichés of spider webs, dead trees, bats, tombs or monsters, making
it a truly interesting and profound model. Interesting model to
create, especially for its roof and the chimney that goes with
it, in short it was complicated but entertaining. Click on the

BAT
COMPUTER LEGO CUSTOM MODELThe Bat-Computer, a custom Lego brick model made
on demand for a great Batman fan. Don't fool yourself, it's not
a complete Batcave, but just the computer section, I'll let you
imagine the size of the Batcave. Many stairs for this theatrical
and gothic playset and some tricks like the "wings" of the computer
that fold and unfold when moving the Batman armchair. Click on
